That first one looks very A series BSA but I wouldn't swear to it. The second one I have no idea except to say didn't Royal Enfield use cush drives from early on?

Both look like MZ 125/150.
The rear definitely is !

Just been outside to look and pretty sure they are both MZ.

Cheers guys, theyre pretty knackered but thought could be worth to someone out there.

Im really tempted to keep the front but i cant get the brake cover off, it seems to of had a ding and dented it, jamming it to the hub.

Ill have a look into mz hubs and brakes to try and clarify.

My MZ front wheel has got 36 spokes not 40 as in ebay description, miscount maybe?
